What BBN said about it

1. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe Guardian reports students in Sevran, a Paris suburb, are protesting because conditions are so bad they can't get back to class.

2. 

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOne boy, seventeen, takes two buses and a train to get there.

3. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentKids are protesting to GO to school. That's the most unhinged flex I've ever seen.

4. 

   Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistIt's a pressure system, Vera. Years of neglect building over the suburbs, and now it's a full-on front. Somebody should have seen it coming.

   Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSomebody did. The students.

6. 

   Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentOh.

7.

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe students say, quote, we're not asking for luxury. They want working basics. A functioning school.

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentA functioning school. Imagine the audacity. I'd have stayed home and called it a protest.

12. 

    Brock Thunderson · Chief MeteorologistThe whole French state should be forecast as unstable until further notice.

13. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorKenji, they're begging for class. You've skipped every meeting I've booked you.

14. 

    Kenji Moonfield · Internet & Trends CorrespondentThose were optional.

15. 

    Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorMohammed wakes at six to look after his siblings first. Then he asks for a classroom.
